Reviews for the Lenovo Tab3 8 TB3-850F

60% Lenovo Tab3 8
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The $110 Lenovo Tab3 8 is an affordable multimedia Android tablet for the whole family. It doesn't offer the sharpest display or the fastest performance, but it's a sturdy slab with solid battery life, good speakers, and the ability to download apps from the Google Play Store. If you don't mind the Fire HD 8's Amazon-centric approach, however, you can get better battery life, more RAM, and faster Wi-Fi for less money (and a refresh to the tablet is making it even cheaper next month). For even less there's the $50 Fire tablet, which has a smaller, lower-res display but offers otherwise similar performance. Or for just a little more, you can get a Fire HD 8 Kids Edition that includes a child-proof case and a two-year no-questions-asked warranty.

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
